Moni-ikä -project (2024–2026) promotes the equality of older people from the perspectives of language, culture, religion, and sexual and gender minorities. Together with our partners, we make visible the needs of ageing minorities and provide knowledge on how to meet these needs within services for older people.
Events and materials are created to strengthen competence related to diversity and ageing within NGOs and the public sector. In addition, decision-makers are informed about these needs, and the changes communities hope to see.
